Preliminary research of the classification of the brain acute stroke lesions by the Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) parameters. [PDF]
Technol Health Care, 2023 BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a mature scanning technique. With high sensitivity in detecting cerebral infractions, it has become an essential part of the clinical evaluation of acute stroke. However, with the update in medical ideals and treatment, clinicians are now focusing on distinguishing between reversible ...

Spatially Selective 2D RF Inner Field of View (iFOV) Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) of the Pediatric Spinal Cord [PDF]
, 2015 Magnetic resonance based diffusion imaging has been gaining more utility and clinical relevance over the past decade. Using conventional echo planar techniques it is possible to acquire and characterize water diffusion within the central nervous system (CNS); namely in the form of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI ...

T2*-corrected Q-Dixon and reduced-FOV diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters: correlation with QCT-derived bone mineral density (BMD) and ability to identify abnormal BMD and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. [PDF]
Quant Imaging Med Surg, 2023 Bone marrow fat increases when the bone volume decreases. The composition of the bone marrow microenvironment can also become altered. Assessments of bone marrow fat and bone marrow structural heterogeneity have the potential to predict abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis.
